I’ve read her story. I’ve seen her many times, but this was the first opportunity to photograph her. There are people like her all around the city with placards protesting working conditions, corporate greed, religion, politics, etc.. I worked at a company where I had to cross a picket line everyday for five years. A sector of the company wanted to be part of the film union. The company thought it was unnecessary. The company lost and had to pay these people for fives years of back wages, fines, etc.. It set the company up for a corporate takeover. It all wasn’t pleasant. It seems that this woman doesn’t have a lot going for her unfortunately. She’s been out there for quite some time.
